I'm almost finished with my second reading of Jane Austen's "Persuasion."

@dragonfly46 It's different than I thought it would be.
I guess that's what I get for having a preconceived notion ?
After this I'll read something 'Historical Fiction' then I'll restart Atomic Habits.

The Cyclist, the second DS Cross police procedural by Tim Sullivan. The series just gets better, following the efforts & travails of both Cross, his co-workers, and father to deal with autistic manners as well as his unique ways to investigate crimes and interrogate witnesses & suspects.

I needed a good series, so I am currently reading A Court of Thorns and Roses. I picked up the whole series.
Every summer, I read Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood and then Little Altars Everywhere. Altars came out first, but if I had read Altars first, I would have never read Divine Secrets.

@dragonfly46 If you liked Tolkien, you’ll enjoy Jordan’s work on The Eye of the World.
I personally think it’s better and wider ranging than LotR
Jordan has been described as a little too overly descriptive of the inconsequential and I definitely see why people will say that. But it’s a very wide ranging and epic storyline with great characters that are unique to the genre.

@HikingMan Thank you for the suggestion. I will look into it. If I do end up reading it soon, I'll circle back and tell you what I thought.
Do you have any other series suggestions?

The Dentist, the first in Tim Sullivan's DS Cross series of books about an autistic British Detective, somewhat similar to the old Monk TV series. Sullivan's series just got a big introductory promotion here in the U.S.
And No Prophets, by Jared Huffman, the Democratic Congressman from California who founded the Freethought Caucus in Congress and the first Congressman ever to openly acknowledge they did not believe in any God or religion. A frightening analysis of how Christian Nationalism in the U.S. has grown from the days of the Moral Majority in Nixon's time to domination of the Trump Administration. Huffman's own life-journey from growing up in a radical offshoot of Mormonism, with high school friends convicted of "blood sacrifice" killings for that religion, brings a quite sobering perspective.
I tend to read fiction and non-fiction simultaneously, particularly when the non-fiction is pretty heavy stuff requiring some stepping back, reflecting and pondering.
